Introduction to Plant-Microbe Interactions
Pathogenic microbes and pest organisms as well as unfavorable growth conditions can be a threat for plant growth. Other beneficial microbes and small organisms can be used to protect plants against these attac...

Life of Microbes in the Rhizosphere
Life of microbes in the rhizosphere is best characterized as starvation for nutrients and attempts to survive. All microbes are hunting for food of which a substantial amount is supplied by the root in the for...

Role of Phenazine-1-Carboxamide Produced by Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1391 in the Control of Tomato Foot and Root Rot
Tomato foot and root rot (TFRR) is a tomato root disease caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (Forl). No chemicals are available which efficiently suppress TFRR. In this chapter we s...

Open AccessCyclic lipopeptide profile of the plant-beneficial endophytic bacterium Bacillus subtilis HC8
In a previous study (Malfanova et al. in Microbial Biotech 4:523–532, 2011), we described the isolation and partial characterization of the biocontrol endophytic bacterium B. subtilis HC8. Using thin-layer chroma...

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria: Fundamentals and Exploitation
Many plant-beneficial rhizobacteria have been described in the literature. These have been isolated from the plant root, where they usually live under conditions of nutrient starvation and at a low pH. In orde...

Symbiotic Plant–Microbe Interactions: Stress Protection, Plant Growth Promotion, and Biocontrol by Stenotrophomonas
The genus Stenotrophomonas is[COMP16] phylogenetically placed[COMP17] in the γ-subclass of Proteobacteria (Moore et al., 1997). The genus was first described with the type species Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Pa...

Regulatory steps in nodulation by Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viciae
Expression ofnodgenes during symbiosis: The expression of inducible nod genes of Rhizobium requires three components: (i) an inducible nod gene promoter, (ii) a functional nodD gene, whose product acts as a posit...

Regulation of Nod Gene Expression: The Role of Nod D Protein
Bacteria of the genus Rhizobium are able to establish a symbiosis with leguminous plants resulting in the formation of root nodules in which atmospheric nitrogen is fixed. The nodulation of each bacterial species...

Induction of Rhizobium Nod Genes by Flavonoids: Differential Adaptation of Promoter, nodD Gene and Inducers for Various Cross-Inoculation Groups
The nodulation of leguminous plants by the soil bacterium Rhizobium is a multi-step process in which both plant genes and bacterial genes are involved (Vincent 1980). Many bacterial genes involved in the nodulati...

Role of Flagella of the Plant Growth Stimulating Pseudomonas Fluorescens Isolate WCS374 in the Colonization of Potato Roots
Although potato is an economically profitable crop, its cultivation in the Netherlands is limited to once every three years on the same soil, since diseases (e.g., caused by nematodes or pathogenic microorgani...
